applicants for the position of Field
Secretary, one from Berlin, one from
Seaforth and the Rev. R. G. Powell of

was requested to allow hie name to go
before the convention; but flatly re-
fused. Rev. E. G. Powell of Exeter
received the appointment at a salary
of $1500 and travelling expenses. It
will be his duty to organize the whole
county eo'that strict enforcement may
be secured. Complaints of infractions
of the Act will be received by Mr
Powell and then handed over to Mr.
Phippen for investigation and prose-
cution. Mr, Phippen's duties will
extend over the whole county, and his
